Frequently Asked Questions about Jerky Treats for Dogs

How do you soften dog jerky treats?

You can soften dog jerky treats by soaking them in water for 10-15 minutes or by wrapping them in a damp towel and microwaving on low for a minute of so. If your dog has trouble eating jerky treats and these methods don't make them soft enough, consider giving him soft treats, or try freeze-dried treats that can more easily be softened in water.

How often can dogs have jerky treats?

Dogs can have jerky treats relatively often, just be sure your dog's calories from treats don't exceed 10% of his daily caloric intake. Many people like to give their dogs jerky treats and other snacks every day or several times a week, which is fine as long as you pay attention to portion size and calorie content. Consult with your vet for good guidance on how often to give your dog jerky and ask how much you should give your dog each time.
